Chameleon v Merged Vampire

Wording of Chameleon "Cost: X blood +1 stealth action. Requires a baron. Take control of a younger vampire with capacity of X who entered play since your last minion phase. That vampire becomes anarch (and independent)." If a vampire came into play a few turns ago, but merged last turn, is it a valid target for Chameleon?

Correct. A merged vampire is not a new vampire, and would also still be affected by things that used to target the previous vampire (such as Contracts).
